Kolkata doctor rape-murder: Sanjay Roy, a Kolkata police civic volunteer who is accused of raping and murdering a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, had been using a motorcycle registered in the name of the police commissioner.
The CBI, which is probing the case, has been looking into his connections in the Kolkata police.
Meanwhile, as the information emerged in media reports and social media, the Kolkata police issued a statement.
They admitted that the bike was registered in the name of the police commissioner. However, they said it was standard practice to register all government vehicles in the name of the police commissioner.
"The bike used by Sanjoy Roy -- principal accused in the RG Kar Hospital alleged sexual assault and murder case -- which was seized by Kolkata Police before being handed over to the CBI, was registered in the name of the Commissioner of Police, Kolkata. Some individuals on social media are attempting to create confusion around this. To clarify, all government vehicles belonging to Kolkata Police are officially registered under the Commissioner of Police before being assigned to various units," the police said in a statement on Tuesday.
